It happened gradually, my noticing that my intuition was leading towards healing. And now it's that pathway that brings me here with this class perhaps to support others who also feel the call to soften into present experience and to listen, just listen.
Something has happened in our culture to diminish and 'other' the human capacity for intuition. In my view this is also connected to the hostility towards and abandonment of our mammalian instincts and somatic experience and the paradigm of 'right and wrong'.
A return to a relationship, a friendship, with our intuition requires a conscious compassionately warming journey through listening to the transmitted messages flowing through our bodies. Just like long ago when we were attuned to the wilderness for safety, shelter, food and belonging.
Most of us were not taught this relationship, and for most of us bringing our conscious awareness to our bodies can feel uncomfortable as the shaky and lost parts of ourselves call for integration.
It is my experience however that the only road to a sense of safety, of belonging and of being able to hear and trust intuition is through this path of emotional courage. To feel the life force within our somatic experience in order to receive the intelligence and care it has been holding carefully for us, awaiting our return.
